With a resume of knockouts as violent as Manhoef, it’s no surprise the Dutch competitor has been given the nickname of “No Mercy.” Known for his relentless striking style, the former K-1 and Strikeforce competitor is fresh off his emphatic knockout of Hisaki Kato ຢູ່​ໃນ "Bellator 146: Manhoef vs. Kato” ໃນ​ເດືອນ​ພະ​ຈິກ.

It’s hard to find a Bellator MMA fighter with as many memorable moments for the Scott Coker-led promotion as Pat Curran. The former featherweight kingpin has been involved in wars with fighters the likes of: current champion Daniel Straus, Patricio Freire, Daniel Weichel, ແລະ Joe Warren. Now “Paddy Mike” sets his sights on “Insane,” in a bout that surely has future title implications at stake.

 

Karakhanyan made a splash in his return to Bellator MMA in 2015, ຫາຍ​ໃຈ​ບໍ່​ອອກ Jenkins Bubba in his first fight for the Viacom-owned promotion since 2011. ໃນ​ປັດ​ຈຸ​ບັນ, the Millenia MMA standout will put his knack for submitting opponents (14x) to the test against Curran, a fighter who has only been submitted once in 28-fights.
